Jeeez, it’s taken ages to get our office moved, it’s taken even longer to get our net installed - no thanks to Virgin Broadband, you sly petty bastards. We are now with Talk Talk… who are German apparently… das internetz ist not doonloaden! schnell schell!
But don’t worry, your favourite Leeds Video Production company are back, and we’ve got loads to show you. Mojofury and Last Lungs are both going online as soon as we stop marvelling at the information world… lolcats etc Then we have In The Mix preparing itself for a debut after a 14 month production schedule. Good times.
But yeah, feel free to give us a call on our new Roach Line 0113 318 8293
Good times.

The poor form of site updates from Roach Productions continues into 2010, but better late than never eh?
Right, to bring you up to speed. We’ve just finished shooting our latest short film, which is a long time follow up to our highly praised debute ‘Led’ (2008), and will be realeased on the 1st June. Written by the amazing Martin McDonaugh (In Bruges) and produced alongside our good friends the Hanrick Theatre Company, the film is called “The Little Jesus Story” and will be projected during the Hanrick production of “The Pillowman” which will be at Bar Seven in Leeds from the 21st May. You can get tickets for it here, but it’s worth pointing out that you need to email the venue to reserve tickets, clearly they are in need of a roach website design update…
In other news we have also just wrapped the video for Belfast’s hot ticket rock supremo’s mojoFURY and that video is currently in the editing cave. Yet another video production shot in Leeds, this one involved an acid trip beyond all acid trips and will be an absolute corker for all your substance bearing teeth knashers our there. Have a listen to the bands tunes and I’ll soon post all the images and final vid as soon as possible.
But if I don’t… sod ya… you’ll have to wait longer.
Our new series will be piloting this week so fingers crossed the audiance are happy little morons and we get a nice chunk of commission to make more, which will then lead to our ultimate goal… which I ain’t saying here.
Would like to make a shameless plug now for our good friend Mj Holloway who runs the rather glorious 5DHire.co.uk website.
That is all for now, keep posting, keep sending us your mail, it’s grand.
Enjoy the summer, try not to get crabs.

With Imicus - Viseral all set for Scuzz release this month, now would be a good time to take stock over whats happening at Roach Productions.
In a nutshell, we’re taking some time off. With Jester Jacobs, idreaminmetaphors and Castrovalva all slated for video releases within the next 3 months, plus the super secret BBC Three pilot we’ve been working on, and of course the adverts we’ve made for John Parkin’s F*ck It, oh and then there’s our pre-production on our return to the film world…..
Basically, our hands are totally full at the momment.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get in touch, we’ve been talking to some fantastic artists recently, and we’ll always want to work with artists we enjoy being around with tracks we believe in. Just don’t expect us to turn round a video by next week!
We’ll be returning to the fold in February 2010 once our current projects have been finalised and released. Keep your emails coming, we’ve always got our ears open to the next genius idea.
Much love from Roach, and I hope you all have a truely grimey Christmas.

Roach Productions has just finished creating the artwork for Leeds based genre-avoiders The Final Sigh.
The band wanted concept artwork that would be used to brand all of their media and most importantly, make them stand out from all the other hundreds of bullshit tight tee shirt waving bands who annoy the snot out of us every day on all various ’social’ networking sites. At Roach we love textures, and now we really love westerns.

Here at Roach Productions we are proud to announce a very exciting project. Our good friend John Parkin, author of F*ck It: The Ultimate Spiritual Way, has approved a script for a new web viral which will launch in October 2009 depicting a Priest who finds his ultimate spiritual solution. Filming will be set across London and we are now on the search for two key roles. An attractive male priest, aged 28-38 to play the lead, and also a beautiful femme fatale to provide the temptation. Email kyle@roachproductions.com with your cv and headshot (if you have a video it will put you at the top of the pile).
This viral will be used as part of a massive advertising campaign to promote the new release from John.

Exciting news today ahead of the Kong Snake Magnet Tour, in association with Brew Records, the entire tour footage will be exclusively published in / for Rocksound Magazine and Online. This is great news for all involved as Rocksound have proved time and time again that they promote from the heart and produce great results. Another sh*t hot result for Roach and even better news for the Kong.
Make sure you check out the debut album on the 13th July, and come see the tour starting from the 15th July with other Roach favourites, Chickenhawk.
